Callie got spayed the last week of October. I was TERRIFIED, but everything went well. I didn't have to put a collar, or a onsie on her. I of course researched all of this stuff, but the vet assured me that I would not need any of these things. She had internal stitches that are absorbable. Her incision was like, 3 cm, and it was not what I expected. You could see where the edges were approximated but no stitches on the outside, I don't know how he did it, but it was GREAT! She didn't lick at the incision, she actually didn't seem to notice it except when I would touch to see if it was tender (which she doesn't react to anymore).
Callie was jumping around like nothing happened when I picked her up. She was a bit tired the next day, not sure if it was pain or just general malaise. I would have given her aspirin, but duh aspirin shouldn't be given post-op so didn't. She was back to her old self 2 days after the procedure.
Hope this helped! How exciting to be getting a baby York!
